The awards recognize excellence in political advertising. In the ad, a doctor informs a patient that his high prescription costs are due to the PBM leeches crawling all over his chest and bleeding him dry. 

NCPA shared the prize with Berman and Company, the advertising agency we worked with to produce the ad. You can watch it here.
